How Are They Doing?

The Missouri Department of Conservation has published their goals for the Spring River Basin. They are:

Goal 1: Improve water quality and maintain or improve water quantity in the Spring River Basin so all streams are capable of supporting native acquatic communities.

Goal 2: Improve riparian and aquatic habitat conditions in the Spring River Basin to meet the needs of native aquatic species while accomodating demands for water and agriculture production.

Goal 3: Maintain diverse and abundant populations of native aquatic organisms while accomodating angler demands for quality fishing.

Goal 4:Improve the public's appreciation for stream resources and increase recreational use of streams in the Spring River Basin.
